Zero knowledge friendly

Verkle Trees were designed with zero knowledge proving systems in mind.

Simple API

The external API for verkle trees is minimalistic. Keys and Values are assumed to be 32 bytes respectively.

Scalability

Each inner node in a verkle tree has 256 children, as opposed to a hexary tree with 16 children. The increase in node width does not significantly affect the proof size as it would in a hexary tree.
